Nope - he was 0.1s slower than me.

The 1.08 was a 1.08.95 apparently. And the 1.04 never happened. The car had gearbox problems and of coarse as people do (see Brisby) they said "If the car was running I reckon we could have got a 1.04". (Yeah right!) It was an un-backed up boast thats all. The GTR was fastest and the Supra was second - less than 0.1s behind.

It is the full track. Last year the best time posted in this comp was a 1.13. I told Nige he should be aiming for a 1.10 before he left.

Well like i said then, its an awesome job to do that time around the full circuit. If the GTR is quicker again with its T88 then again that is a brilliant job.

A WRX time of 1:04 isnt impossible, but knowing the sort of mods the car would have had, id say its very unlikley. Hats off to the Supra and the GTR, they are brilliant times considering the problems and the amount of track time they had. Even with perfect prep and plenty of practice they are still brilliant times.

Anyone have secondhand tyres(17s) that even diametter all round for sale? I now have proper rims for the GTR but ran out of dosh for the rubber :P .

Mr Brisby if i can get rubber in time i'll go harvy with ya on that magic drum ( if Inasnt car is not in that is ).

Love to run on Sandown since its near my joint.

I'll drag the new car down there and race you troy with the fuse pulled on a couple laps to see what the gtst could have done with bigger turbos. Will that put me in rwd modified as well as 4wd? It sould be a good chance to learn how to slide a gtr around because after almost crashing it at over 140k on a turn after owning the car for 5 minutes I don't really trust it on the tighter corners going fast. The back goes out like the gtst but the front wheels pull you into the corner so you have to correct to oversteer as soon as the back starts to loose traction which I guess just means I can't be as lazy at driving. See you guys there.

LOL...im so pumped about this day. Its shaping up to the be the first track day since getting to Melbourne where the car will be sorted without a problem with tyres, brakes and tune all sorted:)

Thing is i want to throw on a new turbo but fear this will eman another few wasted track days until i get IT sorted...decisions - decisions:)

Gareth - good to see you've learnt that driving a GTR quickly isn't as easy as some Hill Billy's like to think. We've seen your not afraid to punt a car hard and you already know Sandown so I'm real keen to see what you can do around there.

No need to pull the fuse either as Roy now has more than the required 3 RWD Mod entries to compete against.

Roy if your car doesent get towed off during atleast 1 session then it just wouldnt be right!!! :P

Yep - Nige is an SAU member. Member #053.

You also have Denham and Wayne anyways in RWD mod. So if Nige comes (btw - he has confirmed he is coming yesterday) that makes 4 cars in RWD mod at this stage to the best of my knowledge.

:P

Blah, blah, blah...ppl dont allow / listen to my excuses, so your time of ...that slow time...stands:)  

And that goes for Sandown and Phillip Island:)

Me walks off talking about a waste of +300rwkws :)

You stop ragging on me and ill leave you alone:)

Dont have any cash for engine rebuilds at the moment so now 300kw runs :P

Is this ur first time at sandown?

Did a 1:36, a 1:32 then a 1:30.06 then it rained.:P

3 hot laps, LOL on the first hot lap i went off at turn 1 and flat spotted the front left tyre which left me with a horrible vibration all day and a tendency to continue to lock that tyre:(

At the end of the day i was doing 1:31s in the drying conditions:)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
